Consulting, Marketing and Education Services

The State of Nevada, Department of Administration, Purchasing Division is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Consulting, Marketing, and Education Services. The State is seeking statements of qualifications from vendors to provide a range of services including Marketing, Conference Planning, Facilitation, Community Building, Program Evaluation, Training Needs Assessments, Project Management, Data Analysis, and Report Development on an as-needed basis. The contract term is for four years with an option to extend for two additional years, for a potential six-year total. Responses are due by May 18, 2023 at 2:00 PM PT. The State will evaluate proposals based on factors such as experience in comparable engagements, demonstrated competence, availability of in-house services, project history, and cost. Vendors must comply with certain mandatory requirements, including agreeing to Nevada law, not boycotting Israel, and meeting indemnification and liability limitations.

The State intends to award multiple contracts resulting from this solicitation and is particularly interested in vendors with significant experience in providing services to government entities and a clear philosophy for delivering the required deliverables. While there is no minimum or maximum contract value, the State does not provide an estimated budget for the overall opportunity. The RFQ indicates that the State will apply a 1% administrative fee to any subsequent user agency service agreements, and the State prefers vendors that can provide services in-house versus through subcontractors. No set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are specified, and the State does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
